SR powered Cefiro's/Laurels

[OkiC33]

What do you guys think about all the cars that used to be RB's being swapped to SR? It's getting popular here in japan, and I've had an SR cefiro, and it was great for drifting, but i still missed to top end of the RB. If i'm gonna go through the work of changing the title, i might as well go for a RB25. What do you guys over there thinking about this new trend?

I have an Sr20 powered cefiro coming from Japan shortly........i am intrigued as to the difference the conversion will make to the weight balance.........from what i have been told i think i will be pleasantly surprised.

[OkiC33]

Yeah, for drifting they're great, it's a style that stresses more on braking and clutchwork. But i like to mess around with other cars late at night, and sometimes you just want more power.

i drove a rb25 ceffy once and boy was it quick. i own a sr20 one now but yeah.. mmm 6 cylinder 2.5 ... i guess the sr is 'just' a 2 litre

puttin an RB25det in my R32 to convert it from an HCR32 to an ECR32 so I'm all for the new trend

then again, I've seen a ceffy featured in Option way back in 1997 that had an RB25DET in it

Im leaning towards the RB25 conversion atm, only because I think in the long run its going to have less hassles than a RB30/26 franken engine. But god damn 3L-3.2L would haul!

BTW I dunno if rbs have top end The LS1s get me up in top end, like they just walk away.

I pulled the RB out of my cef and put an SR in.... Its the best mod I've done so far...

[sky80]

RB20 will be coming out of my 32 4dr when it lands from japan and s15 jspec SR will be going in

[inark]

u may as well un crap it cause u posted it in the other thread

[Mr Eps]

he didnt make that he smashed his silvia front end picked up an r32 cut cheap and decided to bolt the panels on...

now the poor bugger has a yellow sticker for protruding flares

[funkymonkey]

oops

Meet Skyetty, the Skylines lil sis

[funkymonkey]

pay special attention to the fact that the contour lines have been grafted into the R32 panels to make it flow with the rest of the 180's panels... now that's attention to detail. Interior was immac, and was 1989 build. Was listed as a wrecking car because the engine had siezed... so we trucked it from the joint and its currently awaiting a ship, but since customer cars get priority it might be sometime next year before we see it in the flesh.

[dangerous_daveo]

I'll give them attention to detail, but it just looks odd (to me anyway) like the front is too big for the back. But I dare say it would be a wining combo.
